The Simpson MIU2.37/14 Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger from Simpson is purpose-built for commercial and high-load engineered wood framing applications, providing a strong, reliable connection underneath the joist without requiring web stiffeners. Sized precisely for a 2-5/16 in. x 14 in. I-joist member, this face-mount hanger features positive-angle nailing to reduce flange splitting and speed up installation, making it a dependable choice for demanding structural connections in engineered lumber framing.

Key Features

• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) - allows nails to be driven from a more accessible angle, minimizing splitting of the I-joist flanges and reducing installation time on the job site.
• No web stiffeners required - simplifies installation in commercial and high-load I-joist applications, eliminating extra prep steps and keeping the framing process efficient.
• Precisely sized for a 2-5/16 in. x 14 in. member - ensures a secure, correctly fitted connection with no guesswork, maintaining full structural integrity as designed.
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the strength and rigidity needed to handle demanding load requirements in engineered wood framing systems.
• Zinc galvanized G90 finish - provides an added layer of corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Cannot be field-modified - ensures the hanger is always used as engineered, protecting the load rating and structural performance of the connection.

Why This Product

• Built for high-load commercial framing - the MIU series is specifically engineered for commercial and high-load I-joist applications, making this hanger a reliable fit where standard hangers may fall short of load demands.
• Faster, cleaner installation - positive-angle nailing lets installers drive fasteners from a better angle without fighting access constraints, saving time and reducing the risk of flange damage during nailing.
• No extra hardware or prep work - because web stiffeners are not required, this hanger streamlines the connection process for engineered wood framing without adding materials or steps to the installation.
• Corrosion-resistant for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating adds durability beyond bare steel, helping the connection maintain its integrity over time in conditions where moisture is a factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of applications is the Simpson MIU2.37/14 designed for?

The MIU2.37/14 is designed for commercial and high-load I-joist applications. It provides a strong face-mount connection and does not require web stiffeners, making it well-suited for engineered wood framing projects with demanding load requirements.

What is positive-angle nailing (PAN) and why does it matter?

Positive-angle nailing (PAN) is a design feature of the MIU series that allows nails to be driven at a more favorable angle. This minimizes splitting of the I-joist flanges and saves time during installation by enabling the user to nail from a better, more accessible angle.

What fasteners should be used to install the MIU2.37/14?

Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails as specified for this hanger model.

Can the MIU2.37/14 hanger be field-modified to fit a different joist size?

No. These hangers cannot be modified. The MIU2.37/14 is specifically sized for a 2-5/16 in. x 14 in. member and must be used as manufactured to maintain its structural integrity and load ratings.
